Summary

A 1998 AJN Book of the Year! Over 100 experts examine policy and politics in nursing within the workplace, government, professional organizations, and the community. Scholarly discussions, combined with personal narratives and case histories, bring an array of topics to life from the legislative and regulatory processes to the organization of health care in the United States. This resource helps readers develop valuable skills such as political and policy analysis, conflict management, lobbying, the use of media, and working with communities for change.
